One Giant Leap: North Carolina and the Space Race

One Giant Leap: North Carolina and the Space Race will be a 1,500 square foot lobby exhibit that explores North Carolina’s role in the space race, containing stories about the people, places, chimps, and things that helped make America’s historic leap to the Moon.
